THE PROBLEM WITH BASEBALL
Baseball has become a telegraphed, boring game. Few pitchers make it through 6 innings, The relief staff of most teams, other than the closer are mediocre at best. It turns a good and crisp game into a long, drawn out affair where anyone can win. Look at the standings and you will see most of the teams within a couple of games of .500.
A perfect example was yesterday’s Yankees-Cleveland game, where Yanks won 1-0.
Combined, there were 8 hits and 3 walks. A total of 11 base-runners. Yet, the game took close to three hours (2:54).
I have been a baseball and Yankees fan for over 45 years. I can barely sit through a game anymore, let alone pay hundreds of dollars to go to a game.
